missed call ??

I had a call from scottish power last weekend regarding a comp i'd entered, they left a message that they would ring back this week.
Has anyone else had one?

Thanks.

  • They kept ringing me everyday for over a week despite me telling them I wasn't interested in switching suppliers. Apparently I'd entered their £1000 draw so I told them on the last occasion they phoned me to remove my details because the constant calls were bordering on harrassment. I was told that would mean I would forfeit my entry to their draw ... bovvered?! Phone calls stopped now.

    I have had these types of calls. Next time they call I think I will just get all excited and say omg I've won a prize, thank you so much!

    It makes you wonder if there is actually any prize draw at all. They are probably just phishing for phone numbers.

    Yes, they constantly hassle you saying you entered a comp but it's just a sales calls basically :)
    Hope you get a genuine win soon ;)

    They called me and said I'd entered a comp but that I could only qualify for entry if I let them give me a quote. I said no thanks, not interested!

    dont get exited they rung me saying the same last year it was to see if i wanted to change to them they got my details from entering a £1000 prize draw, so i did change to them then the bills started getting higher and higher and in the end i owed them loads of money and they wouldnt do anything about the fact that they told me over and over that they were cheaper than swalec. steer well clear. fingers crossed you have a proper win soon.
